We know that the confidence gap and imposter syndrome gets in the way of meeting incredible candidates, and don’t want it to get in the way of meeting you.

About Product & Engineering: Our department is full of wonderful people from all over the world, working from our office in Munich in a hybrid model, as well as remotely in special cases. We believe in self-organising teams that work independently and who care about the guest experience and fully own it. We want our teams to grow and develop as engineers and people. This is backed with plenty of opportunities to learn from others, from pair-programming to regular tech-talks. We love finding the solutions that create an impact for our guests, which means constant growth and embracing both change and failures.

Right now there are about 30 of us across 5 teams in the Product & Engineering department. We work with multiple technologies (mostly TypeScript) leveraging common frameworks (eg NestJS) on top of the ECS & serverless frameworks running on AWS. Our teams work with code reviews, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines to continuously ship improvements.
